Samaṇamaṇḍikā [Samaṇamuṇḍika]: dsuj (🤖 11m):
Buddha describes ideal ascetic. kusala thoughts/sankappa cease in second
jhana, but akusala perceptions can impinge in first jhana. When he had
spoken, the Buddha said to him: “Master builder, if what Uggāhamāna says
is true, a little baby boy is an invincible ascetic—accomplished in the
skillful, excelling in the skillful, attained to the highest
attainment. For a little baby doesn’t even have a concept of ‘a body’,
so how could they possibly do a bad deed with their body, apart from
just wriggling?
